How does the song go, “money for nothing get your chicks for free, I want my MTV.” Well sounds like a group of folks want money for something they never experienced, slavery.

A pro reparations group met over the weekend in New York, spewing forth more hate than a Klan convention in mid August. The name of the game is money, lots of money, and we want it now.

New York City Councilman Charles Barron did not beat around the bush. “ I want to go up to the closest white person and say ‘You don’t understand this, it’s a black thing,’ and then slap him, just for my mental health”

I would personally pay for reparations for Charles Barron, a one way ticket to where ever he desires. America does not need Charles Barron, nor any other person who feels that way. Charles Barron is no better than David Duke. In many ways, he is worse.

The “cake taker” though is a woman attorney from Houston who is from the Islands, not American, and not a descendant of slaves. She is quoted as saying that she “found it hard to think she deserved any money because there were no slaves in her family, but after some soul searching, she figured all people of color deserve reparations because of what slavery did to the black people, it hurt them economically, and still does to this day”, so cough it up baby !

Reparations are immoral under these circumstances. No one here today owned slaves, and no one here today was a slave. You want economic equality, keep your youngsters out of jail, out of alley ways selling crack, and in the classroom learning what it takes to make ends meet legally.

That's how I see it!
